Broncos Camp Day 13 Update

Broncos day 13 focuses on the growing Nix Sutton connection and Jonathon Cooper’s standout camp ahead of a joint practice with the Cardinals.

Broncos Camp Day 13 Highlights Nix Sutton Connection and Cooper's Rise

Denver closed its 13th training camp session with a run-heavy practice behind closed doors. Bo Nix had limited chances, yet he connected with Courtland Sutton multiple times, including a two-point conversion to Sutton over JaQuan McMillain. The pairing remains a key reason Sutton stayed with the team, and offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi noted that Nix is often harder on himself than the coaches are. The afternoon offered a glimpse of how the first-team offense may operate in controlled settings ahead of the big test against the Cardinals.

Defensively, Jonathon Cooper continued to stand out, beating the Broncos’ right tackle for what would have been a quick sack and earning praise from defensive coordinator Vance Joseph who called him the fire starter for the unit. Joseph highlighted Cooper’s consistency, saying he is the same player every day and that a coach’s dream is having a player who brings that level of effort. The practice also underscored the team’s current depth battle, with a second and third string pacing reps and several players listed on the injury report. The week ahead brings a real challenge in the joint practice with the Cardinals, a test that should reveal how the front, secondary, and protection schemes perform under real pressure. Pass protection and assignment focus remain a priority for Lombardi as he stressed the need for multiple players to handle blocking duties as the roster tightens.

Highlights

The Broncos’ next practice against the Cardinals will be watched closely by fans and analysts alike.
